The following joint resolutions declaring the dis position of principles and purposes of the Confede rate States in relation to the existing war with the United States were introduced by Mr. Hill, of Georgia, into the Senate, and passed the House of Representatives, after a secret debate of several hours, on June 10, with a few, but unessential mo difications : Whereas, it is due to the great cause of humanity and civilization, and especially to the heroic sacrifices of their gallant army in the field, that no means consistent with a proper self-respect and the approved usages of nations should be omitted by the Confederate States to enlighten the pub lic opinion of the world with regard to the true character of the struggle in which they are engaged, and the disposi tions, principles, and purposes by which they are actuated; therefore. Resolved by the Congress of the Confo ',orate States of America,—That the following manifesto bo issued in their name, and by their authority, and that the President be re quested to cause copies thereof to be transmitted to cur Commissioners abroad, to the end that the same be laid be foro foreign Governments : " Manifesto of the Congress of the Confederate States of America Relative to the Existing War with the United States. " The Congress of the Confederate States of America acknowledging their responsibility to the opinion of tho civi lized world, to the great law of Christian philanthropy,and to the Supreme Ruler of the universe for the part they have been compelled to bear in the sad spectacle of war and car nage which this continent has for the last three years ex hibited to the eyes of afflicted humanity, deem the pre sent a fitting occasion to doelare the principles, tho sena mints, and the purposes by which they have boon, and still are, actuated. " They have ever deeply deplored the necessity which constrained them to take up arms in defence of their rights, and of the free institutions derived from their ancestors; and there is nothing they more ardently desire than peace, whensoever their enemy, by ceasing from the unhallowed war waged upon them, shall permit them to enjoy in peace the sheltering protection of those hereditary rights and those cherished institutions. The series of successes with which it has pleased Almighty God in so signal a manner to bless our arms on almost every point of our invaded bor der since the opening of the present campaign enables us to profess this desire of peace in the interest of civilisation and humanity, without danger of having our motives misinter preted, of the declaration being ascribed to any unmanly sentiment, or any mistrust of our ability fully t maintain our cause. The repeated and disaztrous-cheas foreshadow ing tibial& e discomfiture, which their gigantic army, ereeled against the capital of the Confederacy, has already met with, arc but a continuation of those providential successes for UP. We du not recur to these successes iu any spirit of vain boasting, but in humble acknowledgment of that Al mighty protection which has vouchsafed and granted them. " The world must now sae that eight millions of people, inhabiting so extensive a territory, with such varied re• sources. and such enormous facilities for deferce as the be nignant bounty of nature has bestowed upon us, and ani mated with one spirit to encounter every sacrifice of ease, of health, of properly, of life itself, rather than ba degraded from the condition of free and independent States, into which they were born; can never be conquericiT Will nut our adversaries themselves begin to feel that humanity has bled long enough, that tears and blood and treasure enough have been expended in a bootless undertaking, covering their own land, no less than ours, with a pall of mourning and ex posing them far more than ourselves to the catastrophe of financial exhaustion and bankruptcy, not to speak of the loss of their liberties by the despotism engendered in an aggres sive warfare on the liberties of another and kindred people P Will they be willing, by a longer perseverance in a wanton and hopeless contest, to make this continent, which they so long boasted to be the chosen abode of liberty and self-government, of peace and a higher civilisation, the theatre of the most causeless and prodigal effusion of blood which the world has ever seen, of a virtual relapse into the barbarism of the ruder ages, and of the destruction of consti tutional freedom by the lawlessness of usurped power "These are questions which our adversaries will decide for themselves. We desire to stand acquitted before the tri bunal of the world, as well as in the eyes of omniscient jus tice, of any responsibility for the origin or prolongation of a war as contrary to the spirit of the age as to the traditions and acknowledged principles of the political system o America, " On this continent, whatever Opinions may have pre vailed elFewhero, it has ever been hold and acknowledged by all parties that government to be lawful must be founded on tho consent of the governed, We wore forced to dissolve our Federal connexion with our former associates by their aggressions on the fundamental principles of our compact of union with them; and in doing so wo exercised a right con secrated in the groat charter of American liberty—the right of a free people, when a government proves destructive of the ends for which it was established, to recur to the origi nal principles, and to institute new guards for their secu rity. The separate independence of the States, as the sove reign and coequal members of the Federal Union, had never been surrendered, and the pretensions of applying to inde pendent communities so constituted and organised tho ordi nary rules for coercing and reducing rebellious subjects to obedience was a solecism in terms, as well as an outrage on the principles of public law. " The war made upon the Confederate States was, there fore, wholly one of aggression. On our side it has been strictly defensive. Barn freemon and the descendants of a gallant ancestry, we had no option but to stand up in de fence of our invaded firesides, of our desecrated altars, of our violated liberties and birthright, and of the prescriptive institutions which guard and protect them. We have not interfered, nor do we wish in any manner whatever to in terfere, with the internal peace and prosperity of the States arrayed in hostility against us, or with the freest develop ment of their destinies in any form of action or line of policy they may think proper to adopt for themselves. All we ask is a like immunity for ourselves, and to be left to ourselves in the undisturbed enjoyment of those inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' which our com mon ancestors declared to be the equal heritage of all the parties to the social compact. "Let them forbear aggressions upon us, and the war is at an end. If there be questions which require adjustment by negotiations, we have ever been willing, and are still willing, to enter into communication with our adversaries in a spirit of peace, of equity, and of manly frankness. Strong in the persuasion of the justice of our cause, in the manly devotion of our citizen soldiers, and of the whole body of our people, and above all in the gracious protection of Heaven, we are not afraid to avow a sincere desire for peace on terms consistent with our honour and the permanent security of our rights, and an earnest aspiration to see the world once more restored to the beneficent pursuits of industy and of mutual intercourse and exchanges so essential to its well being, and which have been so gravely interrupted by the existence of this unnatural war in Awerica. "But if our adversaries, or those whom they have placed in power, deaf to the voice of reason and justice—, steeled to the dictates of prudence and humanity by a presumptuous and delusive confidence in their own numbers, or those of their black and foreign mercenaries, shall determine upon an indefinite prolongation of the contest, upon them be the responsibility of a decision so ruinous to themselves and so injurious to the interest and repose of mankind. "For ourselves, we have no fear of the result, The wildest picture ever drawn by a disordered imagination comes short of the extravagance which would dream of the conquest of eight millions of people, resolved with one mind to die freemen rather than live slaves,' and forewarned by the savage and exterminating spirit in which this war has be , n waged upon them, and by the mad avowals of the supporters of the worse than Egyptian bondage that awaits them in the event of their subjugation. With these decla rations of our dispositions, our principles, and our purposes, we commit our cause to the enlightened judgment of the world, to the sober reflections of our adversaries themselves, and the solemn and righteous arbitrament of Heaven:: t-' ergs.— Foy ro convictions and sentencesdeserve le re ceived with morn satisfaction than those of the two quacks Henity" (or Wray) and Anderson, which We reported from the Central Criminal Court yesterday. These men are examples of a class of miscreants who extort enormous sums by practising tho most infamous tortures upon the worst and weakest parte of human nature. Their system is as simple as it is infamous. A person imagines himself to he suffer ing from some illness, about which, from motives of fake delicacy, he is unwilling to consult a regular practitioner. He sees one of tho advertisements of these quacks, which, to the disgrace of our Press, are scattered broadcast over the country, nod is induced to apply to him. From that moment ho ceases to be a free being, and if he cannot sum mon up the courage and determination displayed by the pro secutor in this case, ho is a slave under the lash of the quack he has applie.i to quill he compounds with his tyrant for some monstrous ransom. The quack knows that his victim has resorted to him from combined motives of fear and shame, in order to avoid anything approaching to ex posure. If; knows, therefore, that he m,:y demand almost any hing, without, as a rule, being in any danger of re etilitaa btr:gnneces:mr,'LlitFihinire;suttnoofs'r:ulffl toireothi%ttlifsichsuisi'Pnloictdeva he soon gods he is being gulled, bet wheu e t n e i n u o t r e m n d on t he endeavours to withdraw from the trap, he is threatened with exposure . unties ho continues to submit to the de mands male upon him. In this case the unfortunate pro secutor had paid £B6 in half a year before ho attempted to break loose, and six months after ho had ceased to receive advice or medicine he was attacked by a further demand for 4150. Upon his refusal to submit to this extortion two letters were written to him threatening to publish the matter. Fortunately, he had the prudence and courage to put the letters into the hands of his solicitor, and to prosecute the writers. It is very rarely indeed, however, that persons can make up their minds to face the annoy ance and disgust which such a resistance entails, and these tactics are all but always successful. It is notorious to medical men that hundreds—nay, thousands of pounds are being constantly extorted in this way. Persons in a good position will pay almost anything to avoid the exposure they are threatened with. In this instance, however, the prose cutor resisted successfully—a conviction was obtained 011 the charge of conspiracy, and the prisoners were sentenced each to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. We re joice that two of these scoundrels have at last met with some punishment, and we hope it will encourage other victims to their practices to resist and prosecute. To do so is to per form a public service, for one each conviction weakens the chains of every other slave to this tyranny. Tho sole power of these men consists in a moral certainty that their victims will notproseonte, Let that certainty be removed,and all their power is gone. We regret, indeed, heartily, with Baron Bramwell, that it was not possible to award a heavier punishment. As he said, it i s i m p oss ibl e to conceive tt more abominable offence. It is a sort of moral garotting by the foulest possible instrument. It is not merely, said the Judge, one robbery that is committed, but a succession of robberies. The bodily pain, moreover, that is inflicted by physical violence is nothing to the moral buffering of living in a constant sense of fear and shame. Add to this tho abominable nature of the means employed, and it is not too much to say that the ruffian who is sentenced to penal servitude for a garotto robbery is a worthy member of so. ciety to the wretches who carry on this infamous trade. We do not discharge the unpleasant duty of making these re marks from any notion of affecting the criminals themselves, for they must be dead to all human feelings before they can engage in such a trade. But to give publicity to their pro. ceodings may be the meansaof saving many victims from their toils ; and there are one or two means in the power of the public by which their system of extortion may be greatly checked. First of all, wo appeal to the Press to consider whether it is not disgraceful to promote the ends of these wretches by publishing their advertisements. It is impossible to plead these advertisements are inserted in ignorance of their meaning, for no man of common sense can be blind to what is meant by their suggestions. Every one, in fact, knows the sort of advertisement wo allude to, awl, we are sorry to add that every ono is daily liable to be insulted with it. Iu the best-con ducted and most costly papers, as well as in the least respeatable, may be seen these vile baits. Let it be con sidered that these advertisements aro the very instruments by which this infamous business is carried on, It is solely through the allurements held out in them that persons aro induced to avoid a regular practitioner in the vain hope of a speedy and secret treatment. And, worse than this, such advertisements in innumerable cases are tho means of creating the very evils of which they advertise the reme dies; and the extortion practised is, probably, of oven less importance than the moral evil thus produced. If, there fore, our contemporaries would resolutely exclude from their columns any advertisements of this nature, they would strike at the very root of this infamous trade, and prevent an incalculable amount of moral corruption. We are satis fied that they have only to consider the matter to decide on this course at once. There are other ways of advertising, which are equally, if not mare, petniciouq. There are in stitutions iu the metropolis which, under different names, are filled with the most disgusting representations, These places are advertised in every thoroughfare of London by the gratuitous distribution of pap3rs. It is hard to believe that powers do not already exist to put down such exhi bitions. The police have large powers under Lord Camp bell's Act, and it might be considered whether the term "pictures, drawings, or other representations" would not include the mod is exhibited in these places. But, at all events, if no existing act is simple enough to meet the case, there never was more urgent need of some extension iii the law. It is idle to prohibit indecent pictures and prints, as was done by Lard Campbell's Act, if representa tions infinitely more off.nsive to public morality are to be passed over. We are satisfied that we shall be supported by the whole medical profession in saying that no useful end whatever is answered by the institutions we are de nouncing. In fact, the medical journals have for years en deavoured to put them down. We earnestly trust either that the police will find that they have the power to interfere, or that the Government will obtain the necessary powers at the earliest possible opportunity. It is suffi ciently unpleasant to have to notice such a subject at all, and wo hope it may prove sufficient to have once drawn attention to it. Probably none but medical men aro fully aware of the magnitude of the evil, but we believe it is serious enough to demand the most prompt and vigorous measures. HERALD.—Undeterred by the grim lessons of four years of failure the North is entering on another four years of war. The most desperate effort that has yet been made against Richmond has resulted in the Federal commander being brought to a stand before Petersburg, which has de fied all his persevering efforts to take it. Assault has fol lowed upon assault, battle after battle has been fought north and south of the James, with the one; invariable result, the troops of Grant have been defeated with groat blaughtor. From tho east, north, and south, from the Pamunkey, the Janice, and the Apporustex, Richmond seems to be im pregnable. It has long been supposed that a part of the combination intended by General Grant was en attack from the west which should co-operate with the advance of his army and draw off the attention of a large par I of the enemy's force. General Leo has from the first been fully aware of the danger in which ho might be placed by a successful ad vance upon Lynchburg. This important place taken, the Southside Railway would be commanded, and the commu nications of Richmond placed in such peril that the capital of the Confederate States would have to be abandoned. General Lee provided for this risk by detaching a large force to hold in check the army of Sheridan, intended for this work of investing Richmond on the west. The saccossoo of Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley and the retreat of Early southwards seemed for the moment to open the way to Lynchburg. It has since been Sheridan's turn to fall back. He is now at Winchester, at the bottom of the Shenandoah, and his army is closely invested by the Conte federate forces, Tho oyes of the anxious Northerners are now turned far away towards another chance of a march upon Lynchburg, and aid which will be most welcome to the decimated army of Grant. General Sherman, after all this toil, has reaped nothing but bars ren laurel from his conquest of Atlanta. Au gusta and Macon seem as far off as ever. His communications with Chattanooga are almost hourly inter rupted. Hood, with an army, is between Nina and the Ten nessee River, and allows him no foothold in the state but the line of railway which unites a long chain of camps in hostile country. Sherman, however, is bent upon doing something. He is said to have marched away from Atlanta with the greater portion of his army,no ono knows whither There were wild rumours that he had fired the city behind him ; that he was rushing eastwards, without baggage or supplies, through the heart of Georgia and South Carolina, to Charleston or Savannah. As the distance in either ease is about 300 miles as the crow flies, and as there is no pos sibility of his maintaining communications in such a march. through the enemy's country, the conjecture may at once a e n st e s r o tVirginia, n c) h Lynch- AtbLinibgfrometortn; Gap, in V and to Atlanta to Kn oxv ill e be dismissed as preposterous. N or i s th e id ea that he is bent on striking a sudd en bl ow i n the North-east much Foraßidge march a acrossle Tennessee,ss incredible.t he burg, is a distance of a b ou t 40 0 miles to Li b y a got i over. It s truo that there is a railway for three-parts of the way, but a great part of that railway is com manded by the Confederates. Such a movement as this would imply the abandonment of Georgia, for, with Hood in the neighbourhood of Chattanooga, it would be impossible for a small Federal force to maintain itself any where to the south of that place. Besides, wherever the Federals can go the Confederates can follow. With pur suers from Hood's army behind him, with a strong force sent by Lee to meet him in front, any raid of this sort, could we supp , so Gen. Sherman mad enough to attempt it, would be pretty certain to result in his signal discomfiture. There is nothing in the war news to lead us to anti cipate any further success for the North, or which be tokens immediate, danger to the South on any part of her widely extended frontier. We must look forward, we sup pose, to another year of this war ; another year of cruel sac rifices, resultless battles, frantic efforts at conquest; another act in the drama which is a skeleton at our feast of p r ogress—a reproachful marginal commentary on the his tory of our civilisation—a grim reminder that in the midst of all our boasted enli g ht enmen t the passions of peoples are Still, as ever, the m a i nspr i ngs o f their actions, N 0 T ICE," MR.
